ACT III: HIS SIDE / SCENE 3: ANOTHER GUEST

(The light must be focused on another character, a sophisticated lady, dressed up in a red dress and using a pair of red high heels)

The lady, in the name of Kylie, arrived at the scene.

The staffs tried to stop Kylie from walking towards the direction where the double-date is currently occurring.

(The sound of the door as it opens)

All eyes on Kylie. Lewi immediately stood and welcomed the guest of the night.

Kylie:
Good evening!

Lewi:
Oh dear, good evening. Glad you came.

Kylie:
It’s an honor.

Lewi:
(looking at Markus)
Markus, son, please guide Kylie on her seat.

Markus:
(confused)
Me? What?

Lewi:
Oh, come on Markus, don’t be rude.

Markus:
O-okay.

Giselle thought that this evening will be an intimate family gathering, but she never knew that this will turn out to have a non-family business matter talk.

Actually, they were just having a little, some kind of normal, well, casual as it seems, interrogation. A little talk. Yeah. But suddenly, Kylie Fackinstone brought out a new topic, neither for refreshment nor to lighten the vibe. She has her own agenda!

Kylie:
(making an <I don’t know what’s going on> look)
Well, Markus.

Markus:
Me? (while pointing himself)

Kylie:
Yeah, of course. Is there any Markus here, except you?

Markus:
O-oh. Sorry.

Kylie:
Yes. I am referring to you.
So, how’s the married life?
You doing good?
I don’t actually mean it, but,
Is it really that complicated or something?
What about kids? You do have kids right?
You must be so happy having children?Like playing with them?
So funny right? Doing family stuffs.
By the way, where are they?

Markus did not directly answer the question that Kylie asked but instead, he took a sip from the bottle of his red wine.

Giselle:
Ehemm...

Giselle became uncomfortable, hearing Kylie’s questions. Like duh, who was she?

Kylie:
Ow... ow... what’s the matter?

Lewi:
Dear, you shouldn’t ask things like that.

Lewi made a genuine smile, for she knew that it pisses off Giselle. She indeed hated that woman so bad.

Janus joined the talk.

Janus:
What’s is your name again, miss?
I don’t yet know you, formally.
Take time to introduce yourself.

Kylie:
Sorry. I forgot.
I am a Fackinstone.
The most famous Fackinstone.
I thought, you all know me.
A model, an actress, a business icon.
Everyone knows me, because I am known for my signature motto,
“I make my business, your business”

Janus:
What brings you here?

Kylie:
Lewi invited me.
